Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the impact of Egypt's Economic Reform and Structural Adjustment Programme (ERSAP), the effects of which have been of great interest to the international community. Organizations such as the World Bank and the IMF uphold the programme as a success story and example for other countries to follow. ERSAP also has its critics, however, who resent its tendency to downsize government and fear possible negative effects on growth and development. The author discusses these concerns along with those regarding the possible negative social effects of ERSAP.
Download or read book Liberalization of Trade in Services and Impact on Welfare written by Nora Abou Shady and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this thesis is to provide an estimation for the impact of the liberalization of trade in telecommunications services on consumer welfare in the Egyptian economy. The modelling fits in the theoretical framework of the classic international trade theory, where a small economy is facing a world price for a given service, and imposes barriers on its imports. To estimate the impact of liberalization on welfare, the direct approach developed by the Australian productivity commission and the OECD will be used to transform qualitative trade and regulatory policy measures into a quantitative index of restrictiveness. This work also provides a full database on all policy measures affecting trade and provision of telecommunications in Egypt and transforms these into an index and, in a next step, into a tarif-equivalent. The removal of this tarif equivalent is simulated using an input/output model and isassumed to positively affect consumer's welfare. The study suggests that increased liberalization of the sector, accompanied by enhanced regulation and increased transparency is likley to increase consumer's welfare by 3.75%, equivalent to 2.97% of Egypt's GDP in 2011.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1997, Egyptian President Mubarak and U.S. Vice President Gore agreed to explore the possibility of creating a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Egypt and the United States. The very idea of such an agreement has been met by controversy and skepticism from critics in both countries. The authors of this book, however, believe that the case for considering an FTA between the U.S. and Egypt rests on solid economic and political grounds. An agreement could help promote Egyptian economic reform and growth, while providing substantial economic benefits to the U.S. Politically, it could strengthen American ties with an ally who plays a crucial role in helping to achieve peace in the region and in maintaining a stable supply of oil in the Middle East. This book offers U.S. and Egyptian policymakers answers to such pertinent questions as: What form should an FTA agreement take? Should it concentrate on border barriers or cover other aspects such as investments and services? What are the likely implications for both countries? And how will such an agreement affect the rest of the region? Its conclusions will be relevant to policymakers elsewhere in their pursuit of similar regional trade agreements.

Book excerpt: This comparative study of development strategies in Egypt and Mexico in the twentieth century sheds light on two major questions: what is 'development' in the Third World? and what does the pursuit of development actually mean for contemporary Third World states? It addresses these issues by looking closely at the experiences that in this century led Egypt and Mexico to embark on their current strategies of 'development through liberalization.' The nineteen essays by prominent Egyptian, Mexican, and American scholars cover the historical background of development in the two countries, then examine a wide range of subjects: agriculture and industry, private and public economic sectors, planning and bureaucratization of the state, political participation, external factors, population and urbanization, the role of women, and culture and political development.

Download or read book Trade Liberalization in Egypt written by Keith E. Maskus and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We develop a computable general equilibrium model of Egypt to analyze proposed reforms in its trade policies, including a partnership agreement (PA) with the European Union (EU). The model has multiple trading regions and allows for administrative trade barriers and tariffs. We compute the revenue impacts of trade liberalization and the required changes in distortionary commodity taxes to maintain a fixed real government budget. Egypt's greatest potential gains come from jointly removing its administrative trade barriers and adopting globally free trade. The PA with the EU could lower or raise Egypt's welfare, depending on prior trade reform.
Download or read book Trade Liberalization written by Romain Wacziarg and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling two-volume collection presents the major literary contributions to the economic analysis of the consequences of trade liberalization on growth, productivity, labor market outcomes and economic inequality. Examining the classical theories that stress gains from trade stemming from comparative advantage, the selection also comprises more recent theories of imperfect competition, where any potential gains from trade can stem from competitive effects or the international transmission of knowledge. Empirical contributions provide evidence regarding the explanatory power of these various theories, including work on the effects of trade openness on economic growth, wages, and income inequality, as well as evidence on the effects of trade on firm productivity, entry and exit. Prefaced by an original introduction from the editor, the collection will to be an invaluable research resource for academics, practitioners and those drawn to this fascinating topic.
